Yuna shocked all of us when she said she wouldn't teleport us.
"So, where do we go?" Jethro asked.
"To the wildlands," Yuna said.
"Haven't we done enough? We deserve to go home!" Jethro yelled.
"Do not yell at me please." Yuna sounded tired and I wondered if Maelfor was somehow sapping her power before I realized he was trapped for good.
We went to a field where a bunch of harpies waited for us as if expecting us.
"Take his jar!" one of them wailed.
Before we could react they tossed it around and sang a most dreadful song.
Hi ho, the dario the jar is in our claws
We are harpies we have no need for human laws
We always have a just cause
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Jethro yelled. Indeed the song was awful and grating, only made worse by it being repeated about fifteen times.
"You guys are giving me a headache," Zaxl said, annoyed.
We are all girls actually. Not that it matters to you..."
"Not really," we all said at once.
"So, what is in the jar?" a gray harpy asked.
"An ancient demon. Stay the hell away from it,"
"Why do you keep demons in jars?" asked a ginger harpy.
"We don't. Now, if you could please give us the jar back we would be immensely grateful.
I don't think so," the gray harpy said and they all flew away.
"What do we do now?" Jethro asked, just as shocked as Zaxl and I.
"We follow their scent," Zaxl said.
"What are we looking for?"
"A stale and dull smell. I could lead you to them," Zaxl said.
He didn't ask us if we were ready and instead charged straight ahead.
"You already know what to do," I said to Jethro.
"Yes, I do," he sighed.
